Welcome / open talk

Remember and revere your Mother today.

In about 17 years or so of ordering things online, there were only 4 times that orders were wrong. The latest two weeks ago.

The offenders?

amazon.com and costco.com

One time, a $60 amazon item never arrived. They sent another.

One time, an amazon package had the wrong item--item shipped $18, item ordered, $28. They sent correct item and took back shipped item.

I just got back from England where I used by DriveLuxe 51 LMT-S in a rental car. Before going I added a Garmin City Navigator Europe/UK microSD card for the data. I located all the towns, attractions, and B&Bs I was going to stay in advance and Saved their locations.

We are staying at a very nice RV Park in Tennessee that does not show up in the Campgrounds Combined POI file.

We live in North Texas. We have had OneSource home internet for several years. I received a letter yesterday saying they were disconnection service in our area August 6 because they were loosing access to the facilities in our area.
This is a radio type internet.

In danger of losing your windmill?

Maybe you can share the last place your GPS took you and if you encountered any problems, or if you used it to seek out special places to go (like Thai Food, ice cream shoppes, etc.).

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

This week we're recognizing, Mahoney!

Mahoney has been with POI Factory for over 12 years!

Honestly, I've lost track of the number of POI files Mahoney maintains.

Besides the one listed on his profile page he also updates several that remain under other member names (we keep them there for a few years just in case the members find time to start updating them again).

A hacker broke into thousands of accounts belonging to users of two GPS tracker apps, giving him the ability to monitor the locations of tens of thousands of vehicles and even turn off the engines for some of them while they were in motion.

This week we're recognizing a newcomer, Tekmill!

Tekmill recently offered up a review in the discussion post Drivesmart 65 - 2019 First Look that several members found really helpful.

So please join me in welcoming Tekmill and thanking him for a great starting contribution to our community!

Let us give thanks and praise to Jesus for the gift of new life. May you be blessed and filled with hope.

Hello.

I am fairly new to this site, and am wondering if there is an area where i can see my message to other members.

I sent a message to a member a while back about updating a POI file, but got no response. I would like to see my original message text and IF it was read.

Thanks

Craig

I have Sirius XM and listen to ch16, The Blend. Only station I listen to, nothing else interests me. The Blend is an adult contemporary channel. Is anybody familiar with the Blend and what is offered on Spotify. I was told Spotify also has channels. Do they have a channel VERY similar to the Blend? My wife tried it once but said you had to make your own playlists.

Nice to see Tiger Woods win the Masters again. A real nail-biter right to the end. Fun to watch.
